This collection of peer reviewed papers represents a concise,
up-to-date summary of our current knowledge of planetary boundary
layer (PBL) physics and parameterization. As such, it makes a major
contribution to the interchange of knowledge and ideas between
physicists, meteorologists and environmental modellers and sets out
the course to be followed in subsequent research to improve PBL
parameterizations in climate, numerical weather prediction, air
quality, and emergency preparedness models.
Major themes covered are: Nature and theory of turbulent
boundary layers; Boundary layer flows a" modelling and applications
to environmental security; Nature, theory and modelling of
boundary-layer flows; and Air flows within and above urban and
other complex canopies a" air-sea-ice interactions.
The NATO Advanced Research Workshop, held in Dubrovnik, Croatia,
18-22 April 2006, that gave rise to this, book was attended by 57
scientists drawn from 21 countries on four continents. In
recognition of his outstanding career and reaching the milestone
age of 70, the workshop was dedicated to Professor Sergej
Zilitinkevitch and a substantial number of contributions are based
on or linked to his fundamental work.
